🎤 Meetup Track
✅ Evolving an AWS Landing Zone for Multi-Account EKS
Speaker: Giacomo Grangia (Senior Site Reliability Engineer - Sygnum Bank)
As AWS usage grows, a landing zone can quickly move from “a few accounts that work” to a platform that needs clearer ownership, stronger boundaries, and repeatable operations.

This session explores the evolution of an AWS organization from a centralized, environment-based setup to a product- and domain-oriented landing zone, with a focus on networking and Amazon EKS. Drawing on practical implementation experience, the session examines the challenges that drove this transition, including blast radius, unclear product ownership, and manual account onboarding. It will also explore the architectural decisions behind account vending automation, account types, subnet sharing, centralized ingress and egress, and standardized EKS setup.

Rather than presenting a one-size-fits-all reference architecture, the session highlights the practical trade-offs involved in deciding what to centralise, what to delegate to domain and workload accounts, and what to standardise to help teams move faster while maintaining platform guardrails.

✅ Let's Build a Full-Stack Web Application on Lambda Web Functions!
Speakers: Fabrianne Effendi (Solutions Architect, Serverless & Agentic Modernization GTM ASEAN) & Jan Tan (Principal Solutions Architect), AWS
Modern web applications need responsive performance without adding operational complexity. In this live coding session, join us to build an Express and React application running on AWS Lambda Web Functions without changing how you write code. We’ll cover routing, static assets, runtime configuration, DynamoDB persistence, and server-sent events alongside regular API traffic. We’ll then examine concurrent request handling, on-demand scaling, multi-Region latency routing, observability, canary deployments, and rapid rollback. Leave with practical patterns and architectural considerations for running modern web applications on AWS Lambda.
